Ariana Madix is reaching new heights of success as she bagged an MTV award.
However, she doesn’t let her cheating ex-Tom Sandoval have any sigh of relief.
The 37-year-old accepted the award for Best Reality On-Screen Team along with her Vanderpump Rules co-stars Katie Maloney and Scheana Shay.
In the acceptance speech, the reality star took a dig at her former partner, saying, “Obviously, it’s a very tumultuous time in all of our lives, but we are truly at our best when we come together as a team, so thank you.”

Madix also gushed over her fans, who led her to victory through their votes.
“We’ve been through so many ups and downs as friends,” the blonde said.
The recent award came amidst the Vanderpump Rules drama where Sandoval had an affair with her best friend Raquel Leviss.
“Ariana was blindsided by the cheating,” an insider revealed, adding that Madix had “no idea there were any issues” in her nearly 10-year relationship with Sandoval.
However, the singer disputed her account, saying, that he called it quits his nearly decade relationship with her on Valentine’s Day, also two weeks before ‘Scandoval’, which rocked the showbiz industry.
Appearing on to Howie Mandel Does Stuff, the 39-year-old defended, “She’s like, ‘If you break up with me, you will be effectively ending my life,’” adding, “I didn’t know what to do. She was in complete denial and not accepting it.”
